Re: Good source to buy Hikvision items at. I would like a catalog. I am also looking for a smart tracking outdoor camera. Something that could track a car (and hopefully grab a license plate #) and also track someone walking (and zoom in on them automatically). Looking at Hikvision...

Ok. Sounds good... Any recommendations on a good network video recorder? Something that can handle up to 5 or 6 cams? Or I'm sure I could dig through this forum for some recommendations..

Also, will blue iris email pictures?? How hard is blue iris to work with?

I am trying to setup an outdoor security camera solution for my wife's small preschool. It is a house with a detached garage. We had to sue a concrete contractor in court, and a day before court, someone came and shut off our natural gas supply at the meter. He was trying to freeze and burst...
